Chapter 146: It's cold in the heights
I nodded without hesitation, "Of course, my mother is the best mother in the world." ”
Speaking of this, my mother's face seemed to appear in front of me, she gently touched my head, and said to me: Xiaoyue, come back quickly, my mother misses you very much.
I was even more depressed, "My mother and I depend on each other. It's really not easy for her these years, I was very naughty when I was young, she would sometimes say that I beat me, I was still young and thought she didn't hurt me. I understand now that in fact, the one who loves me the most in this world is my mother. My mother used to be a young lady from a big family, and she didn't suffer much, but in order to support me, she had to be a matchmaker. It's okay to meet a good one, but if you meet a bad one, you'll be scolded and kicked out. Mother's temper is good, even if she is scolded by others, she is not angry. Now that I think about it, she must have been very sad in her heart, but for my sake and for the sake of life, she had no choice but to do so. If she had another way, she wouldn't have done this. But I still don't understand her, and I always make her angry, which is really undeserved. ”
As I spoke, my eyes were wet with tears unconsciously, and I secretly turned my head to wipe my eyes with the back of my hand, "I have never left home before, I think the outside world is novel, wonderful, and so attractive, and I always want to go out and see." Once you leave home, you know that no one is as good as your own home, and no one is as good as your relatives! ”
I don't even know why I said such a thing, maybe it's because I'm a little depressed these days, and I'm really homesick, so I said it unconsciously. Maybe it's because the moonlight is too gentle today, so I'm no longer afraid, so I'm willing to say what's in my heart.
The emperor was silent, he silently looked ahead, let time flow quietly, and didn't seem to listen to what I was saying. After a while, he said slowly: "Okay, don't be sad. I promise you, if after a while, you still want to go home. I'll let you go back. ”
I was a little overjoyed and looked at the emperor in disbelief, "Your Majesty, what you said is true?" ”
At the beginning, I didn't agree with what I said, but I didn't expect to feel so emotionally today, which can actually make the emperor relax. If only I had known I would have said no.
"Of course it's true."
I immediately thanked the emperor, "Xiao Yuezi, thank you, the emperor." ”
"You're thanking me too soon! Maybe you won't want to leave? ”
I said to myself, I won't be. But I just smiled secretly and didn't say it. What if that sentence is wrong and the emperor repents of it?
The emperor looked at the moon in front of him and sighed faintly, "The relationship between you and your mother is really enviable." ”
"Huh?"
Envy? What is there to envy? Isn't the relationship between the emperor and the queen mother also very good?
"Although the queen mother was very kind to me, she was very strict with me and did not allow me to make a mistake. From childhood to adulthood, I can't help but know what I want to do and what I don't want to do, what I want to play and what I don't want to play, and what I want to eat and what I don't want to eat. My mother always taught me to be strong, so I couldn't cry when I was wronged. At that time, I was still young, how could I not cry, but I was afraid that the queen mother would find out and be reprimanded, so every time I was wronged, I ran to a place where there was no one, and came out after crying secretly. Later, I was found out by the queen mother and beaten severely, and I haven't cried since. ”
Listening to the emperor's words, I was a little surprised, I really didn't know what to say. I thought that people of their status, with a group of slaves, fine clothes and fine food, must have a very comfortable life, how could there be any troubles? I didn't expect it to be able to even cry. It's really strange that these two of us with such a disparate identity can sit side by side and talk about our hearts, which is incredible. At this time, you don't need to say anything, just be a qualified listener.
"For as long as I can remember, I've had a lot of learning every day, but I don't have much time to play. I don't dare to relax in the slightest every day, because I am afraid that if I slacken, I will be caught up by others. It's like this, day after day, year after year, every day is very boring. But you can't go on, you can't persevere, because if you don't persevere, waiting for yourself may be destroyed. Since you can't choose your own life, you can only fight for your mission because you have no choice. ”
The emperor still looked at the moon in front of him, as if he was telling his heart to the moon, at this time his eyes were extremely firm, and the kind of natural domineering that was unconsciously revealed on his body made people awe-inspired, "Now that I am on the throne, I have to do what an emperor should do, and I want to work for the benefit of the people." I've never regretted that. It's cold in the heights, and in the honorable position, you can't hear the truth anymore, and no one is your friend. Every word of your word is right, and every decision is sacred. It's always flattery, and it's all about flattery. I was very tired, but seeing this, I was even more annoyed. Sometimes I feel lonely. ”
The emperor paused, turned his head to look at me, his originally domineering face seemed to be gentle in the moonlight, and there seemed to be a smile on his face, "All I really want to have a confidant by my side." She knows me, understands me, can relieve all sorrows, as long as I see her every day, all the fatigue will disappear. But he doesn't make trouble or fight, just like a child. ”
I was stunned, the emperor was talking about Concubine Li, right? Concubine Li is so smart and knowledgeable, she doesn't fight or grab, and the emperor loves her for a reason.
But why do I still feel that there is loneliness flowing in his eyes?
"Today's moon is the same as that year's moon, and the moonlight of that year was so good. In the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, I was sick, very sick, so I couldn't go out. Everyone had gone to the dinner, and the queen mother had gone, and I was the only one in my palace. Listening to the laughter in the distance, looking at the lonely moon outside the window shining in front of my bed, I felt a little sad. At that time, I wished so much that my father, whom I respected, would come and see me, even if it was just to come and see me, and let me know that he liked me. ”
The emperor suddenly laughed, the smile was a little scary, full of endless ridicule, "Although I was sick and confused that day, I insisted on refusing to sleep or rest, I always believed that my father would not forget me and would definitely come to see me." But he didn't come after all, and he didn't come to see me until I was well. Since then, I can always think of that year every Mid-Autumn Festival. ”
After saying this, the emperor stopped talking and looked at the moon in front of him thoughtfully.
I, the listener, were a little stunned. A father, whose child is sick, even came to see it. No way? I've heard that the Emperor was a loving holy king. Could it be that the Holy Monarch is for the people?
